A research group at Japan's Institute of Advanced Media Arts and Sciences has developed a finger-mounted "Ubi-Camera" that takes photos when you form a picture frame with your hands.
The rectangle formed by your thumbs and index fingers becomes the viewfinder, and the prototype camera uses a range sensor to frame the image based on the distance between the camera and your face.
Right now, the Ubi-Camera uses infrared technology to detect photographers' faces, but the designers say they'd eventually like to use the camera itself for more reliable face detection.
No word on when this magical technology might actually make it to market.
